One time I had a Dad AC. He was throwing overhand for soft toss BP. I walked over and asked him to toss underhand so it was closer to simulating a pitcher in softball. He tried he couldn't throw, pitch, toss underhand to save his life. He didn't get to toss BP anymore. ;)

Interesting, DDs team had an AC for the fall (GD of a player) who swore that if the throw did not reach in the air, it meant it was horrible. DD gets rid of it very quick, but routinely bounces it (throw with almost no arc to it though), he kept insisting she must reach in air. He said he had coached older girls for many years, I wonder how many of them had a great velocity and reached in the air, but horrible times because of big windup and poor transition.

I told to her nod her head and keep getting rid of it quickly and throwing on a rope even if they bounced to get there.

bmakj, good discussion topic!
Question, are you saying she bounce on purpose?
Just asking making what point ?
Is it better to have fast pop time and bounce? Than longer pop time accurate in air?

*Can have quick transition and efficient throw mechanics with velocity and no bounce accuracy :)

she is not bouncing on purposes, but she is working very hard on a no trajectory throw, so often times it will bounce. sometimes it reaches. her aim point is 18 inches above the corner of the bag. when she bounces the throw, it normally still goes over bag, just a little lower (say 12 inches). this AC kept insisting that if it bounced, it was horrible (mostly because his GD had a hard time catching it as the SS, she wanted it chest high). and her throws rarely were outside the corners of the bag.
